Gracy Singh of Lagaan in 'Ramdev'

  • IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,November 18 2009]

Actress Gracy Singh's was one of the luckiest debuts in the recent history of our cinema. She was not only paired opposite an internationally-renowned Indian superstar Aamir Khan, but also debuted with a film that was Oscar-nominated and perhaps the most famous Indian movie of the decade. Yet surprisingly, Gracy was not to be seen in too many films. Didn't offers come her way? They came but producers found her to be reluctant to skin show and act in extra-glamorous roles that border on the vulgar.

She got a nice offer in Santosham, opposite Yuvasamrat Nagarjuna. She could have well settled doing decent roles in regional films here, but nothing of that sort happened. She acted in some less known Malayalam and Tamil films and even in Bollywood.

Now, she has two films lined up for release in Telugu. The Abbas-starrer Ramdev and Rama Rama Krishna Krishna. Basheed is directing the film in which Abbas, Sai Kiran and Archana is doing an importan role. A family entertainer, it has music by Sri Lekha. The film is all set to release in December.
